About Jim

Always having a passion for everything ‘Chicago’, I decided to pursue a career in residential real estate after receiving a degree in finance from The University of Iowa. Growing up on Chicago’s northwest side, in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, I have spent my life exploring and getting to know the neighborhoods of the city. Chicago is such a unique city and offers so much to people, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than being able to show and sell homes throughout the city.

Since becoming a licensed broker in 2012 I have closed over $225 million in sales and continue to grow each year. I attribute this success to the long-lasting relationships I have created with past clients and am honored to have built my business almost exclusively on client referrals. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear and consistent communication. I make myself available to clients at all times and am dedicated to remaining responsive and reliable.

I pride myself on taking an analytical approach to real estate. Through constant market surveillance I am able to provide clients with a wealth of up to date knowledge regarding home sales and market value in their area, leading to a personalized strategy for each client. I specialize in condo, single family home and multi unit sales throughout the city and Chicago’s North Shore, and regularly work with first time buyers, sellers & investors.

Having previously lived in different neighborhoods of the city - Jefferson Park & Roscoe Village, and Logan Square/Bucktown, my wife Danielle and I ended up renovating a historic home built in 1873 in Evanston where we are raising our three sons Everett, Hudson and Graham.
